Build Kernel Rpm for Tumbleweed
basically followed this guide: https://tutorialforlinux.com/2021/01/05/step-by-step-build-kernel-opensuse-easy-guide/
sudo zypper ref && sudo zypper update # sudo reboot sudo zypper in -t pattern devel_basis sudo zypper in bc openssl openssl-devel dwarves rpm-build libelf-devel elfutils-libelf-devel # dl and unpack kernel from kernel.org or clone e.g. from git://anongit.freedesktop.org/drm-tip, or ... # cd into source dir (e.g. kernel or drm-tip, or ... find /boot/ \( -iname "*config*" -a -iname "*`uname -r`*" \) -exec cp -i -t ./ {} \; mv *`uname -r`* .config sed -i 's/^CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_KEY/#CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_KEY/' .config # make menuconfig make binrpm-pkg # make rpm-pkg sudo zypper in ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/kernel-* sudo reboot uname -r
A build took ~10min on a 11gen intel cpu with nvme disk
